Midland, Texas — Standing in front of two active oil rigs, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled an energy plan powered by the reduction of federal regulations in order to boost domestic fossil fuel production, and push the price of gas down to $2 per gallon in 2025.
"I will ensure that the United States of America is the dominant energy producer in the entire world," DeSantis said Wednesday morning. "I will ensure that this country does not have to rely on hostile nations for its energy needs ever again."
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the last time gas was $2 per gallon was in the late spring of 2020, during Donald Trump's presidency and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many businesses were shuttered and Americans were housebound.
